Teaching an intro to linguistics/linguistic anthropology?

[Richard J Senghas]

Hello colleagues:

We are in the process of some curriculum review in my department.  As  
part of that process, I was wondering if any of you teach (or oversee  
being taught) a large (i.e., larger than 50 students) lower-division  
undergraduate course in either Introduction to Linguistics or  
Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology.  I am especially interested  
if the course is being used to fulfill General Education (or  
"breadth") requirements.

If so, would you please contact me directly (off-list) and let me know:

a)  how large your sections are,
b)  whether or not you use TAs (if so, how many), and if so, are they  
graduate or other students,
c)  whether or not you think it is working successfully (how you  
measure that would also be good to know),

If you would be willing to send along (as an attachment) any syllabi  
you have for a such a course, that  would be extremely useful, as well.

Thanks,

-Richard
